## anonymous 3 years ago Solve the problem. Devon purchased tickets to an air show for 4 adults and 2 children. The total cost was . The cost of a child's ticket was less than the cost of an adult's ticket. Find the price of an adult's ticket and a child's ticket.

x=$4 ans. for the price of the children tickets. 4+8=$12 ans. for the price of the adult tickets. Proof: 7*12+2*4=92 84+8=92 92=92

these are the multiple choice answers: adult's ticket: $13; child's ticket:$10 adult's ticket: $12; child's ticket:$9 adult's ticket: $14; child's ticket:$11 adult's ticket: $11; child's ticket:$8

$66 8. anonymous ok so this might be the long way but this is how i got your answer 9. anonymous so your answer chocies consist of this 13,10 and 12,9 and 14,11 and 11,8 10. anonymous ok o : 11. anonymous it says that adult has to cost more than the child ticket so therefore all of the big numbers are adult tickets and all of the small are kids. what i did is i saw that there where 4 adults and 2 kids so i got on my calculator :D and i did this.$12\times4=48 + 9\times2=18$ 12. anonymous if u add 48 plus 18 u get the answer of 66 13. anonymous ohhh o.o lol.... 14. anonymous um... did you use the answer choices to make that equation? o.o 15. anonymous what do u mean 16. anonymous your answer is adult's ticket:$12; child's ticket: $9 17. anonymous I am talking about 12 * 4 = 48 + 9 *2=18 18. anonymous Sorry T: 19. anonymous o ya i got that from the answer choices 20. anonymous you can do that? T.T; 21. anonymous Thank you for your help once again ^^ 22. anonymous lol your confusing the crap out of me lol.. ok what do u mean i can do that 23. anonymous I'm sorry, nevermind T_T 24. anonymous lol no im here to help math is my second strongest subject so throw it at me 25. anonymous Then, I have to throw a lot of questions at you...

At the local convenience store, 3 bags of chips and 7 containers of dip cost$31. However, 6 bags of chips and 3 containers of dip cost $18. What is the cost of one bag of chips and one container of dip? chips =$3; dip = $5 chips =$1; dip = $4 chips =$1.50; dip = $3.50 chips =$2; dip = $3 36. anonymous O.o 37. anonymous ok lets do this 38. anonymous lol :( 39. anonymous wdf hold on 40. anonymous lol sorry im laughing a lot i cant think right now 41. anonymous its ok... 42. anonymous y are u so nice??? 43. anonymous o.O 44. anonymous lol sorry i was just wondering 45. anonymous chips =$1; dip = $4 46. anonymous thats your answer u want me to explain or no?? 47. anonymous explain please o: 48. anonymous ok so we know that the answer choice has to be correct for both problems instead of just one another 49. anonymous so what i did was i looked at you answers and i did this it says At the local convenience store, 3 bags of chips and 7 containers of dip cost$31. However, 6 bags of chips and 3 containers of dip cost $18. i looked at the answer choices chips =$3; dip = $5 chips =$1; dip = $4 chips =$1.50; dip = $3.50 chips =$2; dip = $3 and i looked at the first one and it says dip=$5 and i looked at your first problem 3 bags of chips and 7 containers of dip cost $31. and i multiplied 5times7 and got 35 see now i know that the first answer is wrong because it already goes over what its suppose to equal witch is 31$

50. anonymous

then i did the second answer witch is chips = $1; dip =$4 so i got the dip amount witch is 4 and i multiplied that by 7 witch is 28 then is looked at how much the chips cost witch is 1 dollar per bag and it says that it has 3 bags so i added 28 plus 3 and u get 31 so that means answer 2 is correct for the 1st problem. for the second problem 6 bags of chips and 3 containers of dip cost $18. i did the same thing i did with the first problem i multiplied 4times3 equals 12 plus 6=18 and therefore your answer for this problem is chips =$1; dip = \$4
